The Afro Bolivian Saya By: Brittany Drollette
Saya: The Saya is a traditional Afro Bolivian artform, that
blends ancient rhythms brought by former slaves for their African homeland with traditional Andean flutes and dance steps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE1DWRfWh-k
Negritas: Saya is the traditional music, but negritas is the
dance. While the men play the drum, the women sing and dance sensuously, by stirring up the hips, shoulders and arms.
Instruments: drum (bambo) andean flute
Coplas: 4 verse poems, chanted by the men in the
Saya, and repeated by the women.
Costumes: The costumes of the dancers are relatively simple: the
women wear a long dress (pollera), a colorful shirt, a shawl (manta), and a borsalino hat, and the men wear shirt, trouser and sandals.
